Overview
Tako T2 ja T5 is a 16.5 MW gas power plant in Tampere, Finland, owned by Metsä Board Oyj. It operates under EU Industrial Emissions Directive and BAT standards.
Tako T2 ja T5 is a gas-fired power plant located in Tampere, Finland, with a capacity of 16.5 MW. Owned by Metsä Board Oyj, the facility is operational and contributes to the regional energy grid. The plant operates under the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), which sets strict emission limits for large combustion plants. As a gas-fired facility, it benefits from cleaner combustion compared to coal or oil, with lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per MWh. The technology likely includes combined cycle or gas turbine systems typical for this scale. This facility supports industrial operations in the Tampere region, providing reliable power for local manufacturing and grid stability. Its relatively small capacity positions it as a distributed generation asset, complementing larger baseload plants and renewable sources in Finland's energy mix.
Environmental context
The plant's gas fuel type results in lower carbon intensity and fewer air pollutants than solid fuel alternatives. Located in an industrial area of Tampere, emissions are managed under EU BAT conclusions. Modern gas plants typically achieve high efficiency and low emissions.
